Israel Sentences a Female Detainee to 27 Months

Salem Military Court has sentenced prisoner Alaa Issa Al-Jo’beb to 27 months and a fine of 3,000 shekels. Alaa Al-Jo’beh, 19, was arrested on 7/12/2011, near the Ibrahimi Mosque and is held at Hasharon prison now. Fuad Al-Khuffash the Ahrar center’s director said that postponing the female prisoners’ trials and depriving them from family visits are an Israeli systematic policy to undermine the prisoners’ high spirits and will. There are 17 Palestinian female detainees in Hasharon prison.
